And now it's time for 1/2 of our designers to choose their favourite project from the amazing entries we had.

Bonnie says: I am smitten with this fabulous patchwork background. The mix of patterns and solids, the variety of embossing, and the gorgeous colours create a wonderful backdrop which reminds me of farmers' fields. Love the colouring of Aurora and the way the flower clusters draw the eye right to her. Beautiful!

Donna says: Love the card shape and how the embossing completes the underwater scene. I'm a sucker for fussy cutting and dimension and this is fabulous and the extension of the images beyond the borders looks amazing. She has even finished the inside with one of the stamps she's used on the front. WOW!

Kyra says: How can I not Love Unky's Garden? I love how Aurora is coloured! and the background clouds' embossing is so cute and appropriate to the theme. I love the little shovel charm she added it is so cute! Nice photograph as well! Well done Teresa!

Maureen says: This is a stunning card. It called to me as I was commenting and looking through the entries for this challenge. The black and purple palette is striking, the dies and shape of the card give interest, and the banner and flowers perfectly finish this card. I love the choice of image, the colouring, and the fabulous frantage style embossing. Gorgeous!!

Woohoo! It's the first of the month and that means it's time for a brand new challenge...one that the DT gets super excited about because we all create with the same image. It is so fun to see how different our styles are and watch that come out using the same starting point. Our theme this challenge is Embossing (Wet or Dry) and the image we are playing with is the new freebie, Aurora Gardening, which will come in this month's TEW newsletter to those who subscribe. She's adorable with her basket of produce and her watering can.

Here are our Challenge rules ~

Enter only new creations – no backlinking
